“The Commerce program gives students broad exposure to the modern business environment and also enables them to pursue specific academic and professional interests. The core courses in my first two years helped build a solid foundation for my career and future studies. In third year, I was astounded at the range of options for specialization. You can really study what you’re passionate about.”

“The Commerce Society enhances the student experience by providing opportunities outside the classroom. Students are able to explore potential career paths, and to access alumni network and recruitment sources. I encourage all students to find something they are passionate about and to get involved.”

“One of the main draws of the Smith Bachelor of Commerce program for me was the international exchange.

Spending a semester in Thailand exceeded all my expectations. By immersing myself in a culture, I was able to expand my personal and professional networks, work with cross-cultural teams, and make lifelong memories. I am so thankful to have had this opportunity.”
